crayons

My favorite crayons by far are Crayola. No doubt about that. But over the past 7 or 8 years, I have collected a wide variety of them. In no particular order, here are my different types of Crayolas.

  • Metallic Crayons
    • has a metallic shine to them, good on dark paper
  • Color Slicks Crayons
    • can color over top of eachother, kind of like an oily pastel
  • Multi Colored Glitter Crayons
    • filled with different colors of glitter inside the crayon, but the glitter just gets all gummed up at the tip and doesn't come off on the paper.
  • Construction Paper Crayons
    • as the name states, good for coloring on construction paper. Again, much like an oily pastel.
  • Techno Brite Crayons
    • super bright colors with such names as "green.com" and "online orange."
  • Pearl Brite Crayons
    • pearly in color, also good on dark papers
  • Retro Colors
    • supposedly retro, with names like "flower power pink" and "give peach a chance." Not really any new colors...just groovy names.
  • Gel FX Crayons
    • these are also good for dark papers, similar to the Construction Paper ones.
  • Color Mix-Up Crayons
    • my favorite by far, they are a crayon, usualy white, with "tiny bubbles of color burst to creat three different colors in every crayon," with fun names like "shrimp cocktail" (white with orange and maroon flecks) and "off-road" (tumbleweed with denim and maroon flecks).
I hope this has been educational for you.
